Fondazione Arnaldo Pomodoro<\/strong> e Fondazione ICA<\/strong> Milano<\/strong> presentano Dancing at the Edge of the World<\/em><\/strong>, mostra collettiva che riunisce i cinque artisti finalisti<\/strong> dell\u2019VIII edizione del Premio Arnaldo Pomodoro per la Scultura<\/em><\/a><\/strong>: Bronwyn Katz, Dan Lie, Yu Ji, Tr\u01b0\u01a1ng C\u00f4ng T\u00f9ng e Luana Vitra.
\r\nLa mostra segna un momento centrale del percorso del Premio<\/em> e offre al pubblico uno sguardo sulle pi\u00f9 attuali direzioni della ricerca scultorea internazionale.<\/p>\n

Established in 2006 by Arnaldo Pomodoro<\/strong>, the Prize<\/em> is among the few \u2013 both in Italy and internationally \u2013 specifically dedicated to sculpture. Each edition acts as an observatory of the international scene, identifying those artists between 25 and 45 years old<\/strong> whose individual research offers a reflection on the very idea of sculptural practice and makes a tangible contribution to the development of contemporary sculpture.
\nStarting this year, thanks to the generous support of Venini<\/strong>, the monetary award increases from \u20ac10,000 to \u20ac30,000<\/strong>, further strengthening the Prize\u2019s commitment to supporting the research and experimentation of the artist who will win the eighth edition, who will also receive a commemorative plaque specially created by Venini.<\/p>\n

The exhibition of the finalists represents a moment of dialogue and production in which new works<\/strong>, conceived specifically<\/strong> for this occasion, engage with the spaces of Fondazione ICA Milano, taking them as an active element of the creative process. Sculpture<\/strong> thus emerges as an open field of critical inquiry, sensitive to the cultural, ecological, and social transformations of the present.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Affermano i curatori Federico Giani e Chiara Nuzzi<\/strong>:
\r\n\u00abIl progetto curatoriale prende il titolo dall\u2019omonima raccolta di saggi di Ursula K. Le Guin (1989), nella quale l\u2019autrice invita a immaginare prospettive alternative e a considerare l\u2019immaginazione come strumento politico e sociale generativo. Muovendo da questa matrice teorica, la mostra affronta alcune delle questioni pi\u00f9 urgenti del contemporaneo<\/strong> \u2014 la decentralizzazione dell\u2019azione umana, la dimensione ecologica, la contrazione dell\u2019orizzonte futuro \u2014 proponendo incursioni in territori di possibilit\u00e0 che ridefiniscono il rapporto tra corpi, materia e ambiente\u00bb. <\/em><\/p>\n

In this context, sculpture manifests itself as a living entity<\/strong> in continuous transformation<\/strong>: not a static object, but a critical and visionary intervention<\/strong> capable of reformulating relationships between human and non-human, natural and artificial, time and space. Although the human figure is visually almost entirely absent, the works deeply question the embodied experience of existence and the many forces \u2014 natural, environmental, climatic, architectural, political, and technological \u2014 that determine its conditions. As noted by Anne Reeve<\/strong>, President of the Prize<\/em> Jury, the research presented here outlines a new biomorphism, a morphology of the body capable of inhabiting the dissolution of physical and temporal boundaries.<\/p>\n

Thanks are extended to Venini<\/strong>, Main Partner of the event, for their generous support of the Prize<\/em> and the promotion of contemporary art, and to IGPDecaux<\/strong>, which for the fourth consecutive edition serves as Media Partner of the Prize<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t
